We had a great stay at this condo in Port Aransas! It was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for our beach trip. We loved relaxing on the balcony and watching the waves. The beach is just a short walk away, and the condo is spacious, well maintained, and beautifully decorated. The host was friendly and quick to respond to any messages. We’d definitely stay here again on our next trip to Port A!

Thank you for your kind review. We are so happy to hear y’all had a wonderful time & felt right at home. We look forward to hosting you again!
We had such an enjoyable time in your condo! The listing and pictures matched the reality. We wanted for nothing. The bed provided great rest. The patio was our go to each night where we enjoyed the full moon with our libations. The decor is darling and so on point with the beach colors. We highly recommend this property!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay and that the condo was everything you hoped it would be. It sounds like you enjoyed one of our favorite things about the condo too—relaxing on the balcony and taking in the beautiful Port Aransas evenings! A full moon and a favorite libation sounds pretty perfect. 😊
The property is wonderful! Our 2.5 year old loved the bunk bed. The beach is extremely close walking distance and restaurants are a short drive away. We would definitely stay here again!
Very close to the beach was a huge plus! Host was so great offered us places to visit and eat. Condo is super cute and had great amenities for cooking and having some family time. Thanks again for a great stay!

Thank you for letting us know what a great time y’all had. Can’t wait to host your family again!
Perfect location that is 5 minutes from most things Port A has to offer. A short walk over the boardwalk to the beach with views of the water from the patio. We are already planning a return trip!

We are thrilled to host you again! Glad y'all had a wonderful time & many memories were made. Thank you for sharing your experience.
From check in to check out this property was amazing. You can literally see the beach access walk from the back patio. You’re also steps away from both pools that are offered on the property. Niki was an amazing host and she was always available to answer any questions that I ever had. it’s also conveniently located in the Hartt of Port a and is super close to anything you would wanna do in town. I would for sure stay here again with my family and actually plan on doing so!

Wonderful to hear! Thank you for sharing your experience. Glad you and your family made priceless memories!
This condo is a wonderful place to stay on the beach! It is clean, in a great location and has a nice view. We loved hearing the water from the back deck and seeing all of the birds. It was very convenient to walk over the boardwalk to the beach. The host was very communicative and gave us great restaurant/shopping recommendations. We look forward to visiting again!

Absolutely charming condo! It was so clean! Our host communicated very well and answered any questions we had. The kitchen had everything we needed to make meals. It also had basic necessities like salt and pepper, pancake mix, pancake syrup, coffee and cooking spray. The beds were so comfortable. The most amazing feature of the property is the view of the gulf! A beautiful place to have morning coffee. We also enjoyed proximity to the beach. A 3 minute walk and you are at the gulf. One thing I should mention for future visitors to know: it had washer and dryer listed. There are no washer and dryer. To do laundry, you have to go to the management of the apartments to receive a code to use coin operated washer and dryer. So, be sure to plan accordingly and not count on doing laundry.

Thank you for your kind review. We look forward to having you again. Glad to hear you made great memories!
The location was perfect with easy access to the beach. The bunk bed was a huge hit with my daughter and it was great that it was a twin on top and full size on the bottom. It was also a great shower after having days at the beach! Everything was comfortable and everything we needed was there.
This property was fantastic! It was very clean, which is a nice change from other rental properties. It was well equipped with items you’d need, and the pictures were accurate. It was as cozy as the pictures represented.
The best condo and spot we have stayed in. Super easy access to everything yet quite enough to enjoy mornings and evenings at peace. We will be staying in this spot each time in future. Wonderful owners and the coolest condo.
Loved everything about our stay! The accommodations were everything we needed! The location was perfect! Just a super short walk down the boardwalk to the beach. Gulf view from the balcony was even better than pictured! We will definitely be back!

Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased your expectations were met and look forward to your next visit! So glad you got to enjoy the beautiful balcony view and take in the ocean breeze.
Great condo from when we walked in the door. Very inviting, loved the décor, and the beds and living area were very comfortable, and the view was amazing. Great communication with Nikki. Would definitely stay here again.

We are so happy you enjoyed your stay! Can’t wait for you to visit again.
I would have given 5 stars across the board the condo had a horible fish smell the first 2 days we were there. We had to leave the doors open to air it out and get some airfreashiner. Other then that it was a beautifully decorated place with easy access to the beach and just minutes away from everything!!!
Here’s a polished version of your review that keeps your experience and observations while improving the flow:We absolutely loved our stay here! It was only about a 2-minute walk across a small wooden bridge to the beach, which made getting there incredibly easy. We loaded our wagon with our beach tent, chairs, and gear and walked right over. My wife and I have three boys (ages 5–8), so we had plenty of help carrying everything.The A/C worked great, and the condo was very clean, organized, and comfortable. If you plan on bringing groceries, just know there isn’t much dedicated pantry space, so we kept most of our dry goods on the kitchen countertop.The only minor issue we noticed was that the front and patio door handles were pretty rusty from the coastal humidity, so they took a little extra effort to open and close. There was also a light chemical smell throughout the condo. There are community washers and dryers located near the front entrance by the pool. They require quarters to operate (1.25 per load), so it’s worth bringing some with you.Overall, we had an amazing time and would absolutely stay here again. We’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a great place close to the beach!
The condo was just as described in the listing but BETTER. It was so comfortable, clean and convenient. A lovely ocean view from the balcony. The condo has it's own set of stairs, which lead only to this condo, and a water facet at the bottom of the stairs to rinse off yourself or beach gear which is so convenient. Another convenience is the sidewalk leads to the boardwalk leading you right to the beach. For reference, beach access leads you to beach marker 5. We hope to rent this condo again in the future. This was a great condo for a quick getaway after surgery. So it brought some great healing spiritually, mentally and physically.

Wonderful to hear! Thank you. We welcome you anytime!
This condo was more than perfect for our stay in Port Aransas! Very clean, air conditioner worked amazing, comfortable beds and had everything we needed to cook with!! Let me tell you the views of the gulf from the living room huge window was unbelievable! We just sat and watched the ships come in and out of the horizon, so neat!! We enjoyed walking to the beach just steps away from the condo, morning and evening walks on the beach was our favorite. We enjoyed the clean pool right outside our door. We loved this place and the location was perfect, walking distance to lots of restaurants and shops, parking right outside the condo and it was so peaceful and quiet.
We will definitely stay her next time!!
